    MAGA cult members are rather infamous for constantly spouting absurd nonsense that could easily be disproven with a moderate application of actual facts and basic logic…

    But they don’t care.

    They are addicted to being aggreived, to blaming non existant or vastly exagerated problems on things that are either entirely or barely tangentially even related to what they are angry about.

    My dad is a MAGA moron as well.

    I can easily imagine him bitching about his 401k in exactly the same way, then I could get him to pull his actual balances over the last 10 years, showing him he is just factually wrong.

    And then he would somehow either praise God or his own cleverness as to being the reason why he is the only person with a 401k who miraculously wasn’t affected by this massive stock downturn he knows happened to everyone else, and would then just loop back to ‘Biden is destroying everyone’s 401ks’ within 48 hrs.

    They are cult members, their brains are impervious to anything that goes against their constructed cult identity.
